Book Reviews of The Ultimate Guitar Book
Book Review: A joy to read and look at.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book because I liked the first part of "The Complete Guitarist" book where the history and dissection of the guitar is shown.This book is full of pictures and descriptions of a lot of guitars. The book is divided by guitar type, from acoustic, archtop, solid-body electics, semi-solid electrics and basses. The descrptions are short and give way to the pictures, but the guitars that demand, by respect, more description are given more pages.
The guitars shown are from all over the world and thus aren't limited to a specific market. Its cool to see how a russian guitar is made.
The only thing I would have liked is a timeline, but the book isn't formatted this way and its fine.
All in all a very fun book to have. No theory, nothing to tell you "practice damn it!", just enjoy.
